December brings one of hardcore’s heaviest releases of the year with Whispers’ ‘Yom-Ma-Lok’ EP out now on Flatspot Records.

Based out of Thailand and self designated as “Bangkok Evilcore” Whispers bring an immense sound to modern metallic hardcore across the seven song EP. The band worked with Suchai at Sixthirty Recording Studio in Bangkok to hone in on their sound, before sending the EP to Andy Nelson at BrickTop Recording for mixing and Brad Boatright at Audiosiege mastered it. Influence from bands like All Out War and Merauder comes through across the seven songs, giving a tough as nails delivery packed with menacing riffs. Thematically, ‘Yom-Ma-Lok’ addresses realism and human nature through a global perspective. Over the years, band has brought their menacing live show across Southeast Asia, Japan, and Europe, and have their eyes set on new places in 2025. With the release of EP, group is setting out to spread the message and sound of Asian hardcore far and wide.
